That´s it. That´s all there is to it.

It does make me wish that New York City would have required an observation deck as a privately owned public space on the top floors as part of a building permit. These spaces are seen with a number of skyscraper lobbies in New York City. Furthermore, the city should have made it a requirement for such a deck to be open from 9 am to 11 pm daily and to not charge an admission fee of more than $10. The skyscrapers that have observation decks are expensive with tickets costing well over $30. By requiring a privately owned public space on the top floors of the JPMORGAN Chase Headquarters, there could have been a space with easy access for working and middle class New Yorkers that could not to afford to visit the existing observatories on a regular basis.
